Hi
The swelling and pain from your wisdom teeth can be due to various causes. Since there is no X-ray or photo attached, it is very difficult to come to a conclusion as to what is causing swelling and pain. You need to visit a near by dentist and have a look at it clinically and get a X-ray done, if recommended.
Next Steps
You can do warm salt water gargling. Visit a nearby dentist at the earliest.
Health Tips
Do not use heat pack or any balm on the area of the swelling.
